We understand
and care about
what you need and want--
     As a debtor, you want relief from competition problems, lender problems, vendor problems, landlord problems, tax problems, and employee problems. We'll point out ways you might restructure your debts and obligations (for example, a moratorium on payments, a reduced interest rate, a stretch-out of the payment period, a write-down of the debt balance). We also address your business's possible internal governance problems.
     As a creditor, you want to be paid. We show you your rights, and aggressively pursue them for you.
     No one can foresee the future. And no professional can guarantee results. But we have gotten results, and we will try to do the same for you.
